    You can put lipstick on a pig, and its still a pig.

    Here comes a GIDP

    And why isn't Middlebrooks playing every day?
  6. FredLynn
    I already did.

    Beckett needs a shutdown inning here.

    Youkilis is reverting to form. He is finished. Soon he will approach the Mendoza line.

    Get the damn bat off your shoulders Pedey

    That run was for all you McDime haters...

    Beckett's velocity is up. FB routinely at 94. So far so good...
  13. FredLynn
    With Youkilis batting 9th?

    Gonzalez pops out weakly-again. Stiff.
  15. FredLynn
    Youkilis doesn't make that play at third base.

    Cheer up. Our FO isn't smart enough to bring up Lavarnway to replace Shoppach (career: .227/.741), who is bound to regress to career norms soon. The good news is that you get to witness it happening!

    Tossup between Byrd and McDime. Byrd is at .271/.610 and McDime at .179/.634. Both are fetid. Can we discard both of them and bring up Kalish? He is nearly ready now and apparently doing well in his rehab.

    Alex Wilson represents "potential". When he succeeds at the ML level I will believe that he is ML ready. How many times did Michael Bowden get brought up after tearing it up at Pawtucket only to fail miserably in the ML? Besides, Alex Wilson has pitched a total of 55.1 innings at AAA level ball.This year his ERA is 3.93 with a WHIP of 1.485, hardly a dominant force. He is far from a sure thing. Don't get me wrong-I hope he excels. But he is hardly a seasoned ML ready pitcher right now.

    Slugging to Aug 1: .464 Slugging after that: .426 Thats not 100 points, its 38 points. What are YOU smoking?

    I understand that, but the premise is off IMO. I believe that OPS is the single most useful offensive statistic to measure how effective a player is. I realize thats open to differences of opinion, but regardless of where you place OPS, its certainly a very valuable statistic. The dropoff in OBP is also quite significant. Salty got tired through overuse last year. With catchers, it happens more than with probably any other position player. It happened to Varitek for the last 3-4 years of his tenure too. And it will probably happen to Saltalamacchia this year as well.

    Jarod Saltalamacchia OPS up to July 31: .790 Jarod Saltalamacchia OPS Aug 1 to end of season: .646 His production DID fall off a cliff at the end of the season. Thats a fact.
